SOPHRONIUS , See also:Greek " sophist " and theological writer, was See also:born at See also:Damascus. For many years he was a See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger.

monk in the monastery of See also:Theodosius, near See also:Jerusalem, removed to See also:Alexandria, whence he was driven cut by the advance of the Persians, and finally settled in See also:Palestine, where he became (634) successor of Dlodestus in the patriarchate of Jerusalem. After his See also:elevation he showed himself a staunch supporter of orthodox principles and one of the most determined opponents of the See also:Monothelites. In 636, when Jerusalem surrendered to the See also:Arabs under See also:Omar, he succeeded in obtaining important See also:con-cessions for the Christians in the exercise of their See also:worship. He did not See also:long survive the See also:capture of the See also:city, and after his See also:death the see remained unfilled for 29 years. Sophronius was a prolific writer, both in See also:prose and See also:verse, in various departments of literature. His See also:chief See also:work is a long See also:account of the See also:Egyptian See also:saints and martyrs See also:Cyrus and See also:John, and of the miraculous See also:cures effected by them, valuable for its See also:information concerning the See also:topography of See also:Egypt. The See also:Life of See also:Mary of Egypt, who abandoned immorality for a life of the strictest See also:penance in Palestine for 48 years, is generally attributed to him. He was also the author of anacreontic odes, See also:hymns, and epigrams.
